In response to new data showing that up to 85% of the over 55 million people living with dementia worldwide may not receive post-diagnosis care, global dementia experts have called for post-diagnosis dementia care, treatment and support to be recognised as a human right.
On the occasion of World Alzheimer’s Day observed on September 21, Alzheimer’s Disease International (ADI), the international federation of 105 Alzheimer and dementia associations around the world, has released the World Alzheimer’s Report 2022 – Life after diagnosis: Navigating treatment, care and support, which was co-authored by McGill University.
The report focuses on the urgent need for significant improvements to essential post-diagnosis treatment, care and support services for people living with dementia across the globe.
